Editor's Notes

  • #27 The age of stimuli bombardment and visual saturation – the age of the micro attention span. We’ve developed mental filters against the hyper-communication around us.Relevancy and the ability to interact with a consumer at a time that suits then is more important than ever, and is becoming more important than repetition. Relevant messages are more valuable than ever, especially when communicated in a creative, entertaining, interactive manner.
